Video: The Mountain Goats: "Estate Sale Sign"

Watch an epic animated struggle

"Estate Sale Sign", a churning track from the Mountain Goats' 2011 album All Eternals Deck, now has an animated video from the directing team Awesome and Modest. In the clip, two hideous shape-shifting beasts wage a neverending war over a snow globe, with a brief pause for a moment of tenderness. It's weird, and it's just as allegorical as you'd expect.In a statement, Sean Donnelly of Awesome and Modest describes the video, "A couple fights over a snow globe with a picture perfect house inside of it. Throughout the fight, they continue to rip away each other's skin and take the forms of many kinds of monsters and creatures. Eventually, there are no more layers left to protect them, and their naked little innocent selves are left alone in a wasteland. The snow globe breaks, and the picture perfect house is ruined. They very slowly turn and walk away in opposite directions." Uh, spoiler alert!
